Cao Zhi is the idol of the literati of all generations, and his "Luoshen Endowment" has never been ancient before and has never come after; of course, the most popular thing for future generations is his seven-step poem, and his talent is unmatched. After succeeding to the throne, Cao Pi thought that Cao Zhi would pose a threat to him, so he ordered him to compose poems in the seven steps, and if he could not write poems, then he would have to worry about his life. Cao Zhi wrote the "Seven Steps Poem" without hesitation, and finally survived.
Boiled beans are held as a soup, and wet as juice. The beans burned under the kettle, and the beans wept in the kettle. Born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry?
After reading this poem, Cao Pi was grateful for his brotherly feelings, did not attack his brothers, and became a good story. From this poem, it can be seen that Cao Zhi at that time focused on telling the affection between each other, the two were originally brothers, but for the sake of interests, they fought to the death, which in his view brothers are brothers, two people are in the same blood, should not be opposed to each other.
Cao Zhi's talent is unparalleled, and this poem has also touched countless readers in later generations, from which there is also educational significance, telling the world a lot of great truths. In fact, many of the literati of the past generations belonged to that kind of genius, such as Wang Bo in the early Tang Dynasty; and "Li Du" and others in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty, which were all talented, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was also a talented man who became famous as a teenager, that is, Huang Tingjian.
Huang Tingjian was a famous writer, calligrapher and thinker in the Northern Song Dynasty, who had a very high attainment in literature and calligraphy, and was able to create independently at the age of seven, and wrote the famous "Shepherd Boy Poem" in this poem, in which his talent was enough to rival Cao Zhi, the whole poem not only has a lofty artistic conception, but also tells a big truth, which is worth learning from each of us.
Riding an ox far past the former village, the piccolo blowing across the long smell.
How many Chang'an celebrities and fortunes, the organs are exhausted as the jun.
According to the records in the "Tongjiang Poetry", Huang Tingjian wrote this poem at the age of seven, and when he created this poem, it was also a story that was enjoyed by future generations. It is said that Huang Tingjian's father at that time was very concerned about his education, and asked him to read and write every day, and also to write a poem. One day, Huang Tingjian's father had a long conversation with his friends at home, and the young Huang Tingjian was returning home from outside.
Huang Tingjian's father's friends had long heard of his talent, so they asked Huang Tingjian to give a poem, the original words of which were: "Jiuwen Linglang is young and intelligent, why not let him also chant a poem!" Huang Tingjian of this era also tried his best to show that when he saw a small shepherd boy riding in the distance, he recited this "Shepherd Boy Poem" without thinking, so that the world could see his extraordinary talent.
This poem is literally shocking, a seven-year-old child, the understanding of the world, should be said to be more sophisticated than adults. Many people may think that it is unlikely, but I personally feel that in ancient times, a seven-year-old child had such a cognition, which is a very normal thing, after all, the children at that time, from an early age to receive traditional education, naturally have a relatively deep understanding.
At the beginning of this poem, Huang Tingjian first made a foreshadowing, through the shepherd boy in front of the village, in order to lead to the following two sentences, the shepherd boy is innocent, more innocent than an adult, riding on the back of an ox far through the village, and this scene was just seen by Huang Tingjian, so he blurted out. The image of the shepherd boy made Huang Tingjian yearn, riding on the back of the ox and playing the flute, and the sound came slowly from a distance.
After having a very clear description of the shepherd boy, he made enough preparations, so in the last two sentences, he expressed his personal views, "How many Chang'an celebrities and customers, the organs are exhausted as the king." "I don't know how many people are chasing fame and profit in Chang'an City, those people live very miserable, exhaust their plans, and exhaust their means, but they are not happy to live, and there are no shepherd boys living freely in the distance."
Huang Tingjian is nothing more than to express an open-minded attitude towards life, a person should not always pursue fame and profit, but should put down the hurried steps and become an innocent person. And the shepherd boys he wrote about are the kind of people who live very simply and do not have so many means. As ordinary readers, we can also learn a lot from this poem, and then understand more truths. Through this poem, it can also be seen that Huang Tingjian is a "prodigy", and his talent can be compared to Cao Zhi.
